The Challenge of Definitively Proving Creativity in AI
On this episode, host Robert J. Marks concludes his conversation with Dr. Georgios Mappouras about his new and interesting paper “Turing Test 2.0: The General Intelligence Threshold.” Here, Mappouras contrasts his newly proposed Turing test with the Lovelace Test, proposed by Selmer Bringsjord of Rensselaer Polytechnic, which says that “Computers will be creative if and when their output is beyond the explanation or intent of the original programmer.” The ensuing discussion highlights the challenges of definitively proving creativity or “flash of genius” in an AI system. The conversation rounds out by touching on the implications of an AI system potentially crossing the “general intelligence threshold,” including the risks of over-reliance on AI systems that may merely reflect the current state of human knowledge rather than true advancement.
